of al-qaida leader al-awlaki. we'll break down the numbers. and search, surrounded. rebel force in libya have gaddafi's home town boxed n we'll have a live report from libya. >> >> and hello, everybody. a big score in the war on terror one day after a u.s. drone strike killed al-awlaki. nato said a senior leader of al-qaida network was captured. >> according to the military officials. akahn is one of the high ranking

members i afghanistan al-qaida. he was captured. nato and afghan forces got him in the province in afghanistan. he had military oversight there in afghanistan and pakistan. he coordinated money and supplies for terror operation. military officials call it a significant milestone in the haqqani network that is closely aligned with taliban and al-qaida. >> we are learning more about the missile strike in yemen. killed in the attack an war al-awlaki and zamir kahn. word that alassyria may be killed. he is a talented bomb maker.

he designed explosive that is can pass through the airport security screening methods and behind the underwear bomb plot and the cargo printer bomb a year later. he was apparently killed in the missile strike. u.s. officials don't know for sure but say it is looking that way. one terrorism expert said the missile strike may be a set back for al-qaida but not a fatal blow. >> we have to remember that the negative messages continue to thrive in the on line jihadi forums that is a latest publicication and dates back to the last decade. we have seen a number of media forums that spread this narrative of hate and intolerence. and that was from fox and friends earlier today. >> still taking down al-awlaki and alsiri in one attack could

be one of the most successful drone strikes. >> thank you. and news spreads about the capture of the leadership of the haqqani network. yesterday's drone strike is hailed upon. what does this mean on the ongoing war on terror. join us host of the fox news.com. casey mcfar land. great to have you here. >> great to be here, uma. >> latest news about the capture of malakahn who is revered of the haqqani clan. what impact will this have in afghanistan. >> getting him and capturing him is a big deal. the question is what will they get from him? will they get him to talk about the haqqani network in pakistan and the connection between the

haqqani network and the pakistani intelligence service which admiral mullen just a week ago said they were joined in e help. will he know about operational details and things that were planned in the days and weeks ahead. we don't know what we will get out of him. the fact he was captured and not killed there is an opportunity to glean. names and dates and connections. >> nato is saying that the capture was made possible by the effort of afghan coalition forces. are we making head way with getting afghan forces on board on the war on terror. >> it is the first good sign. in the last three weeks it is terrible news because the haqqani network attacked the u.s. embassy and cia

headquarters and assassinated a chief negotiator. and they bombed the leading hotel and attack the leadding attack in kabul. and so it looked like nato and afghan national forces were on their heels. maybe this isit first tep of many. it is good news and important to have had happened now. speaking of al-awlaki, with bin laden gone, al-awlaki who was seen as a future of the movement. what will this have on the recruiting efforts? >> huge. in a sense operationally this is more important than the bin laden kill. he was the father of al-qaida and september 11th, but when they got him, he was an old man sitting in dirty clothes in a

windowless room watching porn and videotapes of himself. he was the past and important as a symbol but operationally al-awlaki, and particularly the other two guys. sumakahn and the cyber guy and alasiri the bomb guy means that recruitment will be complicate future attacks will be complicate other people who come and take their places. but with al-awlaki, his roots go back to the september 11th bombers and he's part of every major attack in the last decade whether it is the underwear or times square bomber. he will be difficult to replace. >> al-awlaki hate speeches were inspirational. what made him so charismatic. >> he could peek english. think about if you are a angry

young muslim. al-qaida one that looks like on its heels and arab spring narrative. may not work out well in the end. but that is the place you want to be. and bin laden said if somebody has to choose between a weak and strong horse? they choose the strong horse. al-qaida doesn't look anymore. >> we appreciate it >> and now to the home front and the number one issue heading in the 2012 presidential election, the economy. friday, perry went after the president with karl cameron saying that the president was off base when america had gotten soft economically. >> americans are not soft. we have bad policies on tax and regulation in washington d.c. that are kicking people out of jobs every day. that is a tragedy. we have a soft president. >> and meanwhile, the president

and house republicans continue to go at it over the best way to boltster the economy. the president is demanding that congress pass the job's bill and the gop is countering for less government and red tape. peter? >> uma, president obama said it is three weeks since he sent his american jobs act to congress and he wants to know what the hold up is? republicans in congress agree with certain parsts of the jobs bill. if so, it is time to tell me what those proposals are. and if they are opposed what are they against? are they against putting teachers and police officers and firefighters back on the job? or against hiring construction workers and rebuild roads and bridges and schools? arehey against giving tax cut to every small business and worker in america? >> congress can't get behind the

president's tax plan. but neither can the registered voters. 48 percent say good and 39 percent bad and 6 are mixed. and 39 percent think it makes no difference and 18 percent think it will cost jobbings. republicans say we have to start by getting rid of excessive regulations andment gop highlights a house bill they want to be law and time for the senate and president to give it a >> president obama who said he's willing to consider stopping excessive regulations should call on the democratic led senate to pass the jobs bills. let's take this opportunity to widen our common ground and do whatever we can to get government out of the way so our economy can return to creating jobs. >> another poll, fren percent and half of registered vores think that a year from now.

unemployment will be higher. just 37 percent think it will be lower a year from now. >> numbers there to think about. >> part of the president's plan for a deficit reduction includes a buffet rule. it would increase the tax rate on the rich insure they don't play lower than middle or lower. buffet favors hiking it on the rich, but only apply to the super wealthy. >> i didn't say wealthy should pay more. but ultrawealthy that are low tax rates should pay more. 400 top taxpayers and earned 230 million apiece were paying 21 percent in a combined pay roll tax and income tax which is below what all of the people in my office pay. >> turning to libya, word from rebel forces that gaddafi's home

town of the sirte is surrounded as heavy fighting continues with his supporters. piper has the latest from tripoli on the tense situation. david, what can you tell us? >>reporter: yes. revaries are tightening their grip on only had town of sirte. they have captured the airports and military base there. they say gaddafi supporters are pushed to within three miles of the town center there. despite the encircledment. they have aloud civilians to leave the area and many have chose to leave with hundreds of cars cueed up to get out of the town. there one incident in which a family of four were killed as they tried to escape the town. a team from the group doctors without border tried to enter sirte and forced back because of

heavy fighting. negotiations with gaddafi loyalist to surrender collapse now the revolutionary commanders plan to push from the west and east and let those two sides come together in the middle of the town. they admit though there will be heavy fighting still ahead with gaddafi's forces still holding sophisticated weapons and large supplies of ammunition. the forces hold many high rise buildings there and deployed snipers. and this is another major gaddafi strong hold. there is not s much fighting there over the past week. there was offenses by the fighters to take the town and trying to get another drive to take that place. it is difficult and it could be waiting until sirte falls before they move major forces on. and also human rights watch

declared that they are concerned about the prisoners being captured and torteured by the military groups here. they say that the new regime should not follow the exploits of the old gaddafi regime. back to you. >> thank you, david for bringing us up to date on that situation. >> turning to italy's most watch trial. the verdict in the appeals trial of amanda knox is expected on monday. prosecutor said she and her boyfriend murdered her roommate. knox' attorney said the police investigation was flaw she has been crucified in the media. >> first emergency responder to reach michael jackson's home the day he died that things didn't seem right. dr. conrad murray never told him he jackson was given propofol

the federal government is out of the control and it was not meant to put human in danger. >> we have gotten to a point in this country where people are restricted from their ability to defend their homes, families and property from large very dangerous animals that are unpredictable and known to kill people. >> grizzlyy attacks are up this year in the u.s.. and conservational said a late spring forced bears in the low lands to look for food. the grizzly population is fragile with cent bears in the u.s. and canada. >> thank you, dan very much. . and they will move up the date . how it can change the campaign for the candidates and selling drugs and making a difference in africa. we'll talk to a man who inspired

going on in the primaries from the states. do you think it will severely impact the process in terms was how the candidates will deal with this? >> what happens, if florida moves up it sets a domino affect. everyone is jockeying to move their date up because everyone want to play a role in the process. the florida moving up their date. new hampshire and iowa and nevada want to move up so now it looks like it is going to be stacked up in january and of course, this just sets the whole domino affect. >> florida did this under the threat of the losing delegates and they went ahead anyway and they want to be seen as a player in the race. >> they also have the republican convention in florida. i think the real impact is going to be on the candidates and it is going to fachor mitt romney who i said many a time ran again

and the republican party has a tradition habits of electing those who run at least twice. i think when you push up the states, it favors the candidate with the most money and best infrastructure in terms of a campaign and who's done it before herman cain, having now his polling in florida, it is to his disadvantage because he only has so much money and time to raise the money and get an operation going and florida is a big state. >> in the situation with new hampshire saying it might have the primary in the end of the year, that would be amazing if that happened. >> it forces the candidates and they have to get a ground game going and now have to do it much sooner and raise a lot of money. back to florida. one argument is that florida is the state in playy, they obviously have a number of

electorial votes and made the argument they have more than ohio. they feel because their state in play play with a large number of electoral votes ty would like to play a bigger role and the primary up. >> is it relevant in this situation? florida wants to be that player a the voters lose out. the process is squeezed tighter. >> you can have the primaries over and going in february and march and that may node bode well in testing the nominees. and we would like to see it going on as long as possible. but it looks like it is a shorter primary season and mitt romney will be the nominee. >> herman cain made a lot of news saying that the black community is in his eyes brainwashed by the democrats for voting along party lines that

favor democrats and this generated a lot of buzz. and he won the florida strong poll. herman is interesting. he grew up in the segregated south like father and he has a story to tell. and his importance is very different than the candidates. he's resonating with the voterss and straight talk his faults. i don't know a lot about foreign policy willing to learn. >> africa-americans can be insulted by that comment in the first place. >> they shouldn't be insulted. i think there is merit to what he said although i would say something differently. i feel a number of africa-american vote willinglyy for democrat candidates without really giving the republican candidates a chance. >> listen, i don't know how many people are insulted, but he should be embarrassed by a

blanket statement like that and going to what cheryl said. if you want a story out. you don't step on your story with a generalliization such as >> great to have you here. >> thank you. and one big hot button issue, nation's immigration policy and customs enforcement wrapped up one of the largest operation. murders and rapist and drug trafficers and here's more from fox news correspondant. >> we turn it over. >> and they meet before sunrise to assess the day's targets. get it rolling. and in moments, the operation is underway. >> we have targeted what we consider the worst of the worst. >> these are not just people who have entered illegally, but committed serious crimes here. >> alfredo nava is a four-time

officers to catch 3000 criminals and ice has a new program designed to reduce the backlog with a jail to deportation. we have a long way to go. operation cross check apprehend less than one percent of the fugitive crim nams living among us. this is fox news. >> williams, thank you. public schools are seeing a sharp decline in the number of hispanic students in the wake of immigration laws. one component allows legal status check classroom. many school districts are sending letters to nervous parents that their kids are safe and no reason to keep their kids out of class. >> he is culled a machine gun preacher. his intention is not to hurt but to help. stick around with his inspiring story. we'll be back with more after stay with us.

children. sam a pastor is the inspiration behind machine gun preacher. now sam was not always on the right side of the law and allowed his early life to go in violence and crime. he witnessed the horrors of what happened to the children in that war torn nation. it was there he made a promise to god he would save as many children as he could. he joins me from seattle. welcome. >> welcome. thank you. good to be here. >> i feel you are an inspiration to all and your life is getting a great deal of attention. are you comfortable with called the machine gun preacher? >> yeah, i don't mind it at all. it is a good marketing tool really. everyone asked me are you really a preacher? it gives me an opportunity to share my faith.

i had to deal with violent characters to frect these kids. most of the stiff was filmed about what was going on in 2002 and 2003. there was a serious problem going on. and south sudan caused by the army. >> i know you can't begin to describe the horrific scenes of violence because it is so brutal and yet that brutality that drove you to do whatever it took to fulfill your promise to god. how do you manage not to be brought down and manage to build orphanages there. and i think that everyone should do the best they can.

for a long time it would get to me because we were not solving the problem. i don't think it is ever going to be solved. there is a problem inside of sudan and darfur and south sudan. and yet, you have a lot of people who said they have independence but they are fight negligent blue nile and it is all caused by the period of northern sudan. what goes through the eyes of a child we rescued. i believe that it is not just

about children i hope they will go out of the theater and say what am i doing next? it is not just sam childers once you see the movie. it is you and what you are going to do and saving children around the world. >> jared butler plays the character and you have seen the movie 10 times or so. >> absolutely. >> what do you want people to come away in the final moments of talking to us . if you have an addiction or struggle. you can get rid of that addiction. and start to do something good. you have done a great job.

and what can they do? >> i tell people educate yourself. it is not all about our work and it is finding you getting behind them and backing them. if you would like to go to them go to angels of east africa.org. our work is not just sudan. it is children around the world. >> that's fantastic. all the best to you. >> thank you. up next. obama administration is trying to keep pictures of osama bin laden taken after his death from being seen by millions. stay with us. there's only one bottle left ! i've got to tell susie ! the vending machine on elm is almost empty. i'm on it, boss. new pony

>> welcome back everybody. the obama administration is fighting a freedom of information request. seeking the release of photos of osama bin laden after he was kill saying terrorist could use those pictures as propaganda tools. liz her thoughts with us. hi, liz. >> good afternoon, uma.

this is certainly a first amendment issue although that is not the way the obama administration is treating it. the justice department went to court last week and said that the 52 videotapes and pictures taken on the raids that killed osama bin laden should remain classified. now using as evidence of why they should remain classified. they included a quote from 60 minutes of president obama answering the question about it we'll look at this quote. on 60 minutes on may eighth. obama said it is important to make sure that graphic photos of someone shot in the head are not floating around as an insightment to additional violence. as a propaganda tool. that's not who we are. we don't trot it out as trophis and don't need to spike the football. spiking the football is what

judicial watch wants. they say that the president's decision is a political one. the reasons, of course, the obama administration is giving. ewe see dead photos of bin laden. it is classified material and it would be a propaganda tool and every single argument you can think of. but the fact is, dozens of news organizations that filed request under the freedom of information act and asking that those pictures be made public and that the public has a right to know. and i would add we are grown up in this country even though we live in a nanny state. we are grown up to be able to absorb the pictures and see them for what they are. tighten up. but in any case. that's at a dead end and the

obama administration is going to stick to its guns. the associated press request. it is interesting to note other materials that they have asked for. contingency plans for the capture of bin laden. they have asked for a report on the performance of the equipment used in the raid which i find fascinating and copies of dna tests confirming that osama bin laden's identity. that's where we are. they will probably not get that and will not probably get permission of seeing the pictures from what was supposed to be the most transparent administration we have ever seen. >> indeed. and obviously this scandal will continue. any chance that the new's organization will win this one? >> no, i don't think so. there is a lot of false pictures floating around the internet of

bin laden, dead bin laden. and i don't think we have a chance of seeing an official release. >> liz, thank you for sharing that with us. >> is there a such thing as too many touchdowns, we'll tell you more about that story after the break. stay with us. looking good! you lost some weight. you noticed! these clothes are too big, so i'm donating them. how'd you do it? eating right, whole grain.
